Need ideas for a good yard "warning" sign...

[Blackdog765]

I've been wanting to get a yard sign that I can post near the entrance to our property that lets the occasional visitors know that the property is well protected. We are a little secluded where our property sits, and while we don't have lots of people we don't know come over, there is sometimes people that will comment that they didn't know there was a house "back here". People like the pizza delivery guy (I go pick up the pizzas now), or just the general folks that you don't know too well...

I don't want anything that makes me look like a nut - and I don't want anything that is so cryptic that the non-gun person wouldn't understand it. I'm thinking about buying the standard round Glock tin sign, and mounting that to one of the fence posts near our entrance. I expect most people know what a Glock is, and that should do the trick.

And then I was thinking about some more specific signs at other more secluded spots around the property. Placed in other locations where a normal neighbor or friend would not be approaching the house. These would be the more specific "don't come here uninvited" type signs.

Or maybe some door/window stickers?

Looking for ideas. What do you use, or what have you seen that you like? I do have at least one neighbor that might be a little "gun averse", so I'm not wanting the signs to be huge, or overly threatening. And we also want our non-prepper friends to feel welcome and not nervous... Any ideas?

How about a beware of dog sign? That way people are warned not to come, but are NOT warned you have guns (unless you want to solicit break-ins). Or a simple huge No Trespassing sign?

whatever you do decide to do, dont make the sign a billboard saying "guns inside". lets be honest.. you can have all the security you want, but when everyone leaves for the morning tasks, all your protection does you no good.

personally. i want my house to look like the rest of them on the block, while still offering security features that one would not typically expect. IE: double dead-bolts, metal doors with wood grain painted on em, window blockers, etc)

A Glock sign might also tell someone that you have things worth stealing when your not home. I would recommend buying some signs for any of the big security companies and putting those up.

Don't advertise. Just put up no trespassing signs. Advertising you have weapons only draws attention and makes you more of a target. Let the bad guys be surprised when they try something. Same with gun stickers on your vehicle. Too many cases where honest law abiding citizens have been stopped and searched because of a bumper sticker.

Here is the one that I had made, works well.

My I suggest 2 of them. Both with 4 legs and weighing in at about 80 lbs each.

One at the road, and another up the drive a bit.

Oh, and my favorite:

Something like this?

Oh, and my favorite:

I recommend both.

First one for the more public areas. and the second one for the more secluded areas.

I like the one that says "Can you run 800 Feet per second. If not is your head bullet proof?"

You might consider posting one of these:

It would make the point, though a sign is typically much cheaper to maintain.

Mine field also works well.

Or just a post a picture of "fluffy" on the sign

"This property is protected by shotgun one night a week. You pick which one."

I agree with the canine themed signs. Burglars, even the meth heads, do not like large dogs. The sign should have a GSD or Rottweiler silhouette on the sign. Some "Rottweiler Parking Only" signs will add to the impression. Of course, it would be best if you actually HAD a large guard dog, then people would see it in the yard and know not to drop in unannounced.
